Back to the point, expressing our first amendment right that way (bumper sticker) is definitely a “double edged sword” especially now that the symbols are known beyond our LGBTQ+ community. However, not imposing on others who disagree, I refuse to take the sticker off the car. To me, that is a form of silencing I find unacceptable. It’s interesting that we were brought up on their show, and I am forever grateful Dan is ok, but the issue is so much more important than just Dan’s experience and my anger over it. LGBTQ+ people are harassed, threatened and beaten (or worse) every single day. The more we expose, communicate and educate, the further we progress toward full equality (and safety.)

Again, thanks to Focus Group Radio for highlighting what happened. And, again, I love this podcast and listen to it faithfully. Check it out!
